#particularly in cases like Prime or Animated where they wouldn’t have a single backstory as to how

You know I like how Animated gave us flashback episodes for each of the main cast, showing us their backstories and how they got to where we saw them at the start of the show. Only thing we didn’t really see is how Ratchet and Omega ended up in a space bridge repair team, but we have the rest of the important bits of their backstory
I don’t know, I appreciate how every character got their moment to see how they got there, it wasn’t just exclusive to like, Optimus and Ratchet, who’d probably be considered more important to the narrative than Bulkhead or Bumblebee. I know that’s because each backstory ended up being plot relevant in some way, but still
I’m wishing some other shows went in to their cast’s backstories more. Prime went over Optimus and Megatron’s general origin, and we saw how Arcee and Cliffjumper made it to Optimus’ team, but no one else, and I kind of would have liked to see that. I think some characters were explained elsewhere, like Ratchet and Bumblebee, but it would have been nice to see
And also I mean go into everyone’s backstories instead of just the important characters, like Optimus or other important people. Even the comic relief
